Third Party Claims

If you have been injured while on the job, you need to take a moment and read the following or call our Law Firm to explain how a “Third Party Case” can occur.

It is important to understand that in addition to the rights guaranteed by the Texas Workers Compensation Act, an injured worker may also have substantial rights under State and Federal laws which permit them to recover monetary damages from a "third party,” call our office today and speak to an attorney today to discuss “third party cases.”

A "third party" is any person or company that injures a worker while the worker is working for – employer. When a third party causes an injury through negligent activities, the injured worker can recover compensation from that other company, as well as from the workers compensation. A third party claim generally provides monetary damages that are greater in amount and value than the workers' compensation benefits that would be available for the same injury.

Negligent conditions or events that may create a third party claim:

  • Manufacture of defective or dangerous products
  • General carelessness or negligence
  • Violation of a State or Federal statute
  • OSHA Violations

In order to fully determine whether a feasible third party claim exists, an investigation and research is necessary. Depending upon the type of lawsuit and the identities of those responsible for the conditions, the time limits for filing a third party claim may be longer or shorter than those that apply to the workman's compensation claim.
